Every single councillor at last night’s constituency council meeting (Tuesday 8th June) and the entire audience united in calling for the surveillance camera scheme to be scrapped. We all united in condemnation of the unwanted spy cameras put up in our neighbourhoods to track our every move. The whole room was unanimous in their outrage and over this gross assault on our civil liberties; it was democracy in action. People from the communities affected came and spoke out in the strongest possible terms.
We totally trounced the Safer Birmingham Partnership and West Midlands police. They were broken and beaten and they must be going away for a major re-think of this ill-conceived plan that has clearly backfired.
This issue isn’t going to go away, but maybe the cameras will. We can win this. Our lawyer from Liberty stood up and said they would be mounting a legal challenge. The whole thing’s illegal. And NOBODY wants it. We’re gonna get these things removed.
